I dag fant jeg ut fra Trump at bindersen ikke er en norsk oppfinnelse. ☹️😞

There’s a lot to investigate and report on from today’s stunning deposition of Les Wexner. But here’s something I can’t get over. I asked Mr. Wexner if the DOJ or FBI ever contacted him to ask him about Epstein and his crimes. He said NO. That’s outrageous and unforgivable.

Pregnant veterans would no longer be allowed to receive abortions at Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals in cases of rape, incest or when the pregnancy threatens their health under a proposed rule from the Trump administration.

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

A Vance Boelter w/ similar educational timeline as the Minnesota assassin wrote online that he'd attended Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas. I've been there. Here's a quote from founder on wall in lobby.

Yesterday I joined the long string of journalists being told by president Trump that I am an idiot. I feel I should get a T-shirt or something. @aftenposten.no

Jeg visste at det var komplisert å lage databrikker, men at det var SÅ komplisert ante jeg bare😊 Denne artikkelen gir innblikk i HVOR komplisert det er.

It isn't that he just did this 7-8 years ago, either. "Over time, Martin appeared as a solo guest discussing the Ukraine crisis and was described as a 'co-host' on one show episode in December 2023." www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

"De mest profilerte demokratene har trukket seg tilbake til svært lukrative og komfortable tilværelser. Barack Obama kommer til Norge i mai. Det koster 3600 kroner pr. person å se ham live i Oslo Spektrum." www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kom...

Right now, domestic and foreign investors are essentially selling America. They are selling its bonds, stocks and currency, and the outlook for all 3. They are perhaps also selling the leadership. Tariffs and Trump create new equilibria for US assets and markets now saythey're at a lower level.

Borte bra, hjemmel best. Skisse. (abo)

Vanskelig å ikke tenke at noen har tjent ganske gode penger den siste uken.

I was just getting used to being liberated.

Jepp

These are the kind of memes currently circulating on Chinese social media. Trump bringing manufacturing back to America…

👀 det spisser seg til

here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘

* TRUMP: U.S. WILL IMPOSE ADDITIONAL 50% TARIFFS ON CHINA EFFECTIVE APRIL 9TH IF CHINA DOES NOT WITHDRAW 34% INCREASE * TRUMP: ALL TALKS WITH CHINA CONCERNING REQUESTED MEETINGS WITH U.S. WILL BE TERMINATED @reuters.com

LMAO!

They have identified the core flaw in the Trump tariff plan: not enough uncertainty. Need more uncertainty, a lot more.

Det begynner etter hvert å bli mange historier om turister som blir fengslet av ICE i ukesvis. Samtidig stuper antall besøkende turister. 1/2

The fart of the deal. The White House had a TikTok deal. Trump’s China tariff wrecked it. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

The only positive thing about Trumps stupid trade wars - if he manages to crash the oil price to $40 or lower, the Russian budget would be in trouble...

MASSIVE SHIFT Pro-democracy channels on YouTube are now growing faster than right-wing channels for the first time. MeidasTouch is proud to lead the way as the fastest-growing YouTube channel in Q1 2025. Keep this momentum going: YouTube.com/@meidastouch

Når man ikke tror det kan bli mer crazy har Trump alltid noe i ermet. Laura Loomer har besøkt Det hvite hus, skjelt ut Mike Waltz og fått flere sikkerhetsrådgivere sparket. Jeg måtte sjekke at dette ikke var fra 1 april. Gud bedre 🤡🤡🤡

The universal tariffs announced by the US are a major blow to businesses and consumers worldwide. Europe is prepared to respond. We'll always protect our interests and values. We're also ready to engage. And to go from confrontation to negotiation. Full statement → europa.eu/!mHxFMh

"The EU should centralise its investment rules so that it can strike deals covering FDI and it should overcome its aversion to big trade pacts and sign up to the CPTPP." Our leader on trade, Trump and the response. www.economist.com/leaders/2025...

Endelig får pingvinene på Heard Island som fortjent, 10 prosent straffetoll. No soup for you!

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

Her er min første kommentar til Trumps nye tolltariffer (åpen). De er enda dummere enn jeg trodde. snoen.substack.com/p/trumps-han...

let’s see who has the unfortunate task of ringing the opening bell tomorrow … ah perfect

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

Breaking: National security adviser Mike Waltz's team set up at least 20 Signal chats to discuss official work on issues including Ukraine, China, Gaza and more, according to sources who've been personally added to the chats.

Trump announces his tariffs, which are (somehow?) related to the trade barriers other countries are imposing on the U.S. But... THE NUMBERS HE'S PRESENTING BEAR NO RELATION TO REALITY. It would be absurd to call these reciprocal tariffs. They're grievances.

EU supposedly charges the EU 39%, US will charge them 20%. (The EU weighted average tariff is actually 2.7%).

Trump fortsetter sin knallharde kamp mot de svakeste. Skyhøy toll på land som Thailand, Vietnam, Kambodsja, Bangladesh. Hva i all verden blir konsekvensen av dette?

Trump has now extorted $350 million in pro bono work for right-wing causes from Big Law firms. That's enough to fund three-and-a-half Heritage Foundations.
